Football Cupcake # 1

What you will need for these Cupcakes:

Baked Cupcakes

Green Frosting

Decorator Gel in a Tube

Large Chocolate Covered Nuts

Thin Pretzel Sticks (Extra)

Fruit Roll Ups or Triangular Cut Paper Pendants or Team Stickers

Toothpicks

Bake your cupcakes and frost them. Use a grass green cupcake frosting. (That's white with green food coloring!) Now you have just made your "Field".
Get a tube of white cake decorating gel. Draw white stripes, these are the football field yard lines, across each cupcake.

Use a chocolate cover nut (your football!) with some lines drawn on it, decorated like a football with lace marks. (draw one white line down the middle of your candy covered nut, about half way from middle to end length wise. Make 3 lines across this main line. Just look at a football to see the pattern.)

If you want to make a team flag, use a thin pretzel stick and attach a piece of candy rollups to it, or a small triangular or rectangular piece of paper with your favorite football team's name on it. You can also use stickers!

All you need for these edible pigskins are some brown frosting and some black string licorice for the lace threading. They are easy as can be. Ingredients
